Description

The Prevention and Relationship Education Program (PREP) is a relationship education intervention that teaches couples (married and unmarried) how to communicate effectively, work as a team to solve problems, manage conflicts without damaging closeness, and preserve and enhance commitment and friendship. PREP uses techniques of cognitive-behavioral therapy and addresses topics such as communication, affect management, conflict management, commitment, fun and friendship, problem-solving, forgiveness, and emotional supportiveness. PREP is not meant as therapy or counseling, but as relationship education efforts. PREP is available in English and Spanish.
